History in the making
Red Ned Irish Red Ale Your local paper, whenever you want it. Bright Tank Brewing Co. Australia and Ireland have a shared history that dates back to colonial times when Irish settlers, both free and forced, made this land their home. None more significant than Ned Kelly, the son of Irish immigrants turned notorious bushranger whose rebellion against authorities made him a folk hero and a cultural icon. Now Bright Tank Brewing Co pays tribute to this outlaw spirit with its Red Ned Irish Red Ale. Red Ned Credit: supplied The Irish influence makes its presence felt first on the nose through toasty malts ideal for a cold northern hemisphere winter - think fresh bread crust, toffee and roasted hazelnuts - before an Aussie twist in Pride of Ringwood hops from Victoria that bring an earthy, citrus-tinged edge with a hit of classic pub herbals. Malt takes centre stage first up, with rich biscuit flavour, caramel sweetness and a subtle roasted kick before a dry, grassy bitterness and flash of citrus peel cuts through. It's a medium-bodied ale with lingering caramel flavours and a slightly dry finish that sits easy on the palate but still packs a punch. It's a bold, yet balanced drink that with an ABV of 5 per cent leaves you ready to go another round but also ideal for sharing with you own gang of misfits. $72.50 for a case of 16

Shocking Dancing With the Stars salaries leaked as Gold Logie winner Rebecca Gibney tops pay bracket
Salaries for the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars Australia have reportedly been leaked with Gold Logie winner Rebecca Gibney securing the biggest payday. The long-running dance juggernaut sees a group of Aussie celebrities battle it out on the dancefloor for the iconic Mirror Ball Trophy. Dancing With The Stars is set to return to Channel 7 next week with 12 popular Australian celebrities set to tackle the foxtrot. This year's cast features a variety of well-known TV presenters, actors, newscasters and sports stars 'competing for a charity of their choice'. Stars also receive a participation fee for their appearance on the show, which was entirely pre-recorded in Sydney earlier this year. According to a production insider who spoke to Woman's Day, the 2025 cast has been split into three different pay brackets to reflect their star power. Industry veterans Rebecca Gibney, ex-Bachelor host Osher Günsberg, and comedian Shaun Micallef are reportedly each earning $100,000 to take to the dance floor. Gibney, who won the prestigious Gold Logie in 2009 at the height of her Packed to the Rafters fame, is arguably the biggest name from this year's contestants. Beneath the top three earners, Olympic swimming legend Susie O'Neill, AFL star Trent Cotchin and 7NEWS presenter Michael Usher are reportedly receiving a clean $47,000. O'Neill, who won gold in both Atlanta and Sydney, was recently elected to the prestigious Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) board. At the bottom end of the scale are Olympic boxer Harry Garside, comedian Felicity Ward, Home and Away star Kyle Shilling and 7NEWS presenter Karina Carvalho. All four have reportedly signed on for the bargain price of just $27,000 in exchange for weeks of intensive dance training, minus management fees and tax. The surprisingly paltry salaries come as free-to-air broadcasters slash talent budgets in order to get more bang for their buck amid declining audience numbers. This year's season of Ten's I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Outta Here was reportedly the cheapest in the show's history. 'There's just nowhere near as much money in free-to-air television as there used to be,' an I'm A Celeb source told Yahoo! Lifestyle in January. has reached out to Channel 7 for comment.

Meghan Markle twerks to induce labour in new video for daughter's birthday
The Duchess of Sussex has shared a tip for soon-to-be mums in an intimate family video celebrating her daughter's fourth birthday. Meghan Markle, 43, reflected on the day of Princess Lilibet's birth with a sweet video of her and Prince Harry in the hospital waiting for labour to begin. The duchess said that after spicy food, walking, and acupuncture "didn't work", she turned to twerking in the hospital room a week after the Princess' due date. "There was only one thing left to do," Meghan said in a post to social media. Princess Lilibet was born on June 4, 2021, and was the second child of Harry and Meghan to be born a week past their due date, after Prince Archie was born on May 6, 2019. The mother of two also shared candid snaps of Lilibet. "Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today, she came into our lives - and each day is brighter and better because of it," the duchess said. "Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day," she said. It comes as Harry and Meghan explored the idea of changing their family name to Spencer amid months of delays in their children receiving passports from the United Kingdom, the Guardian newspaper reports. Harry, the Duke of Sussex, believed that the passport delays were the result of UK officials blocking the applications over the use of the Sussex surname and HRH titles (his or her royal highness) for his children, the newspaper said, citing an unnamed source.

The source also said other media reports which said Spencer had advised Harry against changing his surname and that the legal hurdles to doing so were insurmountable, were inaccurate. Harry, the younger son of King Charles, stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and moved to California, where he lives with Meghan and their two children Archie and Lilibet. Since leaving, he and Meghan have been highly critical of the royals in TV documentaries, an explosive interview with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey and most notably in Harry's best-selling biography Spare. The prince is barely on speaking terms with either his father or his elder brother, heir to the throne Prince William. In a BBC interview last month, Harry said he wanted reconciliation with the royal family but that his father King Charles will not speak to him over a separate row about his security.
